Elevating Engagement
JANUARY 20, 2023
I loooooove chicken or egg conundrums, but before we get into the juicy philosophical debate, let’s set the stage. Two elements comprise member engagement. Members engage when there is value for them and when they have great experiences with or because of the association. When I say great experiences, I’m talking about things like being personally welcomed into the online community, seeing the spectacle of the opening session for the first time, or even the experience of looking at the homepage

Let me preface this by saying there is certainly value in having a printed agenda at your event. Yours may serve a dual role as a magazine; you may use it to distribute printed coupons for members (looking at you, chambers!); you may want to showcase your design chops. But…that said, the advantages to using a mobile event app instead (or in support) of a printed agenda — besides saving on printing costs — are pretty hard to argue with: 1.

Whether you’re a new association or you’ve been around for decades, at some point you’ll have to bring up the touchy topic: membership dues. It’s not an easy subject, but a necessary one.

How can you tell good marketing from bad marketing? Simple. It doesn’t feel like marketing. That may sound counterintuitive since advertising is meant to stand out and capture the attention of audiences, but it should be a delightful experience, not intrusive or obnoxious.
